Format
Each team will play four times against each other team in the competition. The teams which finish in the bottom two places in the relegation table are automatically relegated to the Florian Championship. The relegation table is calculated over positional points over three seasons.The inaugural season will kick off on the 12th August 2017. The winner will qualify for the AEFA Champions' League, with the Runner-up qualifying for the AEFA Cup.
AEFA Competiton qualification
Currently, the winner of the league qualifies for the qualifying rounds of the AEFA Champions' League. The 2nd and 3rd placed teams qualify for the qualifying rounds of the AEFA Cup. Also, the winner of the Florian Cup qualifies for the AEFA Cup. If the winner of the Florian Cup has already qualified for an AEFA competition, the 4th placed team in the league will qualify as well.
International players policy
To improve the standard of Florian football, clubs are limited to have up to three foreigners in their teams starting lineups. Top clubs such as RB Dragonmoor and Northcliff United are known for having fielding players from the Kingdom of Coria and Craitland. The improvements of the national team were spotted when they famously beat the Craitland national football team on Craitish home soil. However, to accompany this rule, teams can controversially buy a foreign marquee player without a transfer cap and also that the marquee player can start in the starting line-up and not count as a 'foreign' player.
